A family of five plus a young, rather hyper pup who was getting bigger by the day — our Solitude was struggling a bit. We had taken a break for a few years, settled down, and got a house, but it wasn't a good fit, so we decided to buy a new, bigger RV and fulltime again. After lots of research, fa...

After our second stay in Grand Junction, we headed East on I-70 towards Rifle. Our first stop was a quick lunch break at a fuel station off the interstate - but I have to admit, it was pretty (unexpectedly) great! Hot ham and cheese for the win! ...

Wow, as mentioned a couple posts back, Grand Junction is great. Just don't tell anyone, as I don't want the secret to get out. As much fun as we had in Moab, it was good to get out of the extreme heat, smoke, and crowdedness.We opted this time to stay at the KOA on the edge of town. I think the kids...

Next Up: Moab, Utah. This is somewhere we've been to many times before, including solo on a bike trips over the last couple years, but never gets old. Beautiful scenery and awesome trails go a long way toward making a happy camper!One of the first activities we did as a family was a hike in Dead Hor...

Next up: Grand Junction, Colorado. I had stopped here a couple times previously on my way out to Moab, but never for more than an overnight stay. This time, I opted for a full week to give the area more chance - and boy am I glad I did! What a hidden gem! Absolutely amazing hiking and mountain bikin...
